It's not on the internet yet, though (awaiting switch to ADSL soon so I can use wireless router) so I haven't done any snapshots on it yet.

We keep finding out about "unofficial" rebuilds sold on ebay for which users will have a shock when they realise the old 2004 repos don't work anymore (pretty soon).

You will have to rebuild the icons on your Kicker Panels, because the route to your programs on the menu has changed. Also don't assume that any wallpaper etc you have used will be present in the new version, so save it in your Home area.

2. As there have been no updates since November, it's possible that certain programs will be several versions ahead of what you had in 0.93a, and the configuration file may cause problems. The "dotfile" to configure that program under your Home folder may need to be deleted so it can be rebuit.

The second of these problems will be rare, and I seriously cannot see any other problems at this time.

It's taken me absolutely ages to get my machine set-up/configured to just how I like it and I'd hate to have to do it all again.

*EDIT*

I've installed it on my spare laptop and it's recognised the infamous Belkin/Broadcom F5D7011 network card with a little intimidation from ndiswrapper. First impressions are looking good, tbh.

You can see my hardware in the sig, and I'm using the 1Gb-ck kernel.
